Desert Matte/Photo Composite Pic

I was really sure I'd posted these ages ago, I found them in my Photobucket folders, I'd certainly posted them on a forum as far back as Dec 05. I wouldn't quite call them Matte Paintings, they're more Photo Montage work done in Photoshop with a 3D Model thrown in. You can see the pics below that went into making the 2 top pictures, most people will recognize Vasquez Rocks, seen in numerous Hollywood films and TV shows, in fact IMDB lists 183 productions that have been shot at this location. ListI was unsure about the wall in the shot so I did 2 versions of the pic, the wall was a quick 3D model that I rendered in Vue 5.

Hey Andrewnice images mate!! - good composition and crop - hey would it be worth while airbrushing some cloud/mist type atmospher just at the bottom of those rock structures just to set them back some more and give some more atmosphere to the whole thing - bah - but you finished it ages ago...so who cares LOL!!

I know 3D World Magazine has occasionally covered Vue and done some tutorials mainly into the landscape side of the package. I think the best place to look will be www.cornucopia3d.com they have forums up there and I'm sure they have tutorials etc...
